KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN Chicken Seasoning Most recipes just call for salt and pepper for the

seasoning, but for me, it is better if you season the chicken well so that you will have a succulent piece of chicken wing even without the sauce.

6 pieces chicken wings, drumstick and wing part separated (12 pcs total) 1/2 T minced onion 1/2 T minced garlic 2 T soy sauce salt and pepper to taste Breading 1 /2 c all purpose flour 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 cup rice flour 1/2 T chicken powder salt and pepper to taste

Directions: 1. Season chicken with onion, garlic, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Marinate for at least an hour or overnight 2. Prepare the breading by mixing well all the ingredients. Set aside. 3. Heat enough oil to deep fry wings in a pan (or large sauce pan). (Most recipes call for 350) 4. Working in batches of 6-8 pieces, toss flour mixture into the wings to evenly coat each piece. 5. Deep fry chicken until golden, 68 minutes. 6. Drain on paper towels and rest chicken wings for 2-5 minutes. 7. Re-fry chicken until crisp, about 68 minutes more. 8. Drain again. 9. Toss chicken wings in sauce.

Sauce Ingredients Of the recipes I found online, there are basically two types. The Soy-honey glaze and the ketchupchili sauce. Im not really a fan of spicy food so the ketchup-chili sauce is out of the equation already. But then again, I love fried chicken with ketchup (better than gravy!) So I had to somehow include it in the recipe. It was a pretty bold risk for me to combine the soy-honey glaze with ketchup coz I really do not how the two flavors would combine. The risk paid off well coz the result was amazing!
